I goes for any model with the 12v V6: 1993-95 90, 1992-96 ? 97 100/A6, etc.
AFAIK, there weren't any significant changes to the 12v motor for the
earlier A4s, either.

Also, I believe the timing belt set up on the 30v motors is the same
as the 12v (the second cam is chain driven off the first) so this may be
applicable to those motors as well.

One would think that Audi would notice a pattern of these things busting
in the neighborhood of 60k and start issuing service recommendations, but
hey...
